Bubblicious: 'Bubble Boy' Crane opens Barclays in 67

By

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – If The Barclays is being staged at Liberty National, you almost want to be on the bubble of the FedEx Cup Playoffs points list.

When Heath Slocum won the event in 2009 at the Jersey City, N.J., stop he was ranked 124th coming into the Playoffs.

This week, Ben Crane is the 'bubble boy' occupying the 125th slot on the points list. He was so excited about it, he made a rap video that he debuted on Wednesday (see below).

After a 4-under 67 in the first round, he's also probably pretty excited about his position on the leaderboard. He sits three back of 18-hole leader Kevin Stadler. Crane tees off at 12:10 p.m. ET for his second round.

There's plenty more golf to be played, but bubble boys + Liberty National = bubblicious.
